Hey everyone,
so, I've had this issue for a while now and have decided to get around to fixing it. When I bought the car, the AC seemed to work fine (not the best AC I've ever seen, but it did the job). Anyhow, at some point, the air-con stopped blowing cold air. It just never gets really cold at all. Apparently, there's still gas in the system and there aren't any pressure leaks, so I'm thinking something must've died. I am aware of the dreaded compressor blow-outs and metal shavings in the system, but I never heard the AC make any weird noises and it still makes exactly the same sound as it always has (however, I don't run it now).
I am just wondering if this could still indicate a compressor issue? Or would there be any other signs if the compressor had "exploded" into the system, apart from not having any cold air?
I'll be taking the car to an AC mechanic soon-ish, but I'd like to hear more opinions before I do so.
Thanks!
